It is an axiom among newspapermer that people like to see their names in the newspapers. It should be added that they also like to see other people‘s names in the newspapers. One trouble is that some people like to see their own names menâ€" tioned in laudable way, while they delight overâ€" much perhaps, in reading of others in police court reports for instance. Few people are pleased to be mentioned in police court stories. Some years ago there was a rather notorious blindpigger in Timmins who used often to come to The Advance office to express his thanks for mention in the police court news. "It‘s good publicity," John used to say, "but I do wish you would always mention the address when the police raid my house, so that new customers would know where to find me. All the oldâ€"timers know my place"" He was an excepâ€" tion to the general rule, however. He was a TIMMINXS@, ONTARIO Members Canadian Weekly Newspaper Association; Ontarin Quebes Newspaper Association; Class "A" Weekly Group OFFICE 2%%â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"PHONESâ€"â€"â€"â€"â€"RESIDENCE 70 Published Every Monday and Thursday by: GEOG LAKE, Owner and Publisher Subssription Rates: Timmins, Ont., Mond tion to the general rule, however. He was a . friendly fellow and a philosopher. As a matter{ of fact, publicity has more of a deterrent effect upon wrongdoers than is generally realized. The most of those who find themselves caught by the law find the publicity a particularly heavy' part of the punishment for their wrongdoing. . This as proven in part by the fact that so many seek to have their names omitted from the court reports. Newspapers, however, find that their first duty is to the public, and though there is no animus to the convicted person names have to be used. There are times., however, when in the doing of their duty the newspapers seem to cause undeâ€" served annoyance to innocent people. This does not refer to the families or friends of convicted persons, though referencte along this line is a familiar ruse to attempt to induce newspapers to suppress certain names. The answer to the conâ€" victed person in such a case is along this line:â€" "Do you expect a public newspaper to forget its duty and consider your family when you failed to think of your relatives and friends?" The hardship on innocent people referred to comes in a different way. A glaring example of what is meant was recently given by The Financial Post. One of the members of the staff of that paper is named Wellington Jeffers. That is surely an unusual enough name to protect a man from confusion of identity in police court publicity! The John Smiths, William Browns and otherâ€"common names might suffer from aspersions on their names, but most people would imagine that "Welâ€" lington Jeffers‘" would only be likely to suffer from his own sins! But not so! It develops that there are actually three men bearing the name of "Welâ€" lington Jeffers" and living in Toronto. The result recentlfr was that two of these men named Welâ€" lington Jeffers suffered because tuc third received due publicity for being found guilty of being? drunk in charge of a car and having to serve a term of 15 days in jJail. The two innocent men named "Welâ€" lington Jeffers" had to put up with considerable annoyance.. They suffered from the fact that some of their friends said nothing, but looked askance at them. They suffered still more from the friends with a peculiarly developed sense of humor who did not believe in their guilt but talked about the matter to others who for lack of humor or other reason failed to see any joke but gathered the impression that the particular Wellington ts 90 o C was a arunken car ariver and a served annoyance to it not refer to the famili persons, though reféere familiar ruse to attemp Jeffers they knew wWas a man out of jail.

The Financial Post suggests that the Country newspaper method of giving street dresses, ages and other particulars, would assi preventing unnecessary confusion of iqentit police court cases. It may be said, however, the newspapers in general, with the exceptic a few who care for nothing but hysterical se tion, are doing their best to avoid annoyan( injury to innocent people.
